2 March 2014: Mother Nature has done its best to imitate ‘Enlighten’ which has been lighting up Canberra landmarks in the evening this weekend. The early autumn tones of aubergine and pinks were projected onto the mirrored waters of LBG creating a perfect picture. Enlighten runs until March 8 so there is still plenty of time for you to be able to experience it.
This gallery contains 6 photos.

24 Jan 2014: I just loved how the soft light danced its way along the waters surface and the sun burnt through the afternoon haze to create a dreamy atmosphere. I hope that you enjoy the shots as much as I enjoy capturing them.
Wow…..stunning sunset is taking place
23 Feb 2014: Backlit clouds beamed golden rays of light into the morning skies over Canberra creating a wonderful atmosphere. The crazy cloud formations and the beautiful light combined perfectly to produce some wild reflections on a very calm morning.
The reflections were amazing. Stunning Sunday has begun.
22 Feb 2014: The sun tried its best to break through the blanketed Canberra skies. The conditions were void of a stunning sunrise, just soft subtle filtered light which made for a very pretty paddle on LBG.
18 Feb 2014: It’s not often that I get the chance to paddle in the afternoon, but everything lined up perfectly allowing me to experience yet another gorgeous golden sunset.
What a peaceful afternoon
15 Feb 2014: The rain has finally arrived. This morning I was engulfed by a sea of grey formations that were continually swirling around me. This provided an absolutely stunning foreground and backdrop for my paddle.

8 Feb 2014: The swans were floating amongst pastel tones, there were hovering balloons and I was treated to golden sunrise. Crystal clear blue skies soon took over as I paddled my way into another stunning Canberra day. It doesn’t get much better than this, the conditions were so good that my planned 2 hour paddle turned into a 4 hour pleasure cruise.
5.49am: The morning was so good that even the local were just floating around and were in no hurry at all.
